Just one more reason why you should never trust anyone over 30.

Seriously, much like color perception, everyone's frequency sensitivity is slightly different, but it really isn't that important. The ear feeds data to the brain and the brain can compensate for all but the most gross physical deficiencies. More important than strictly linear hearing response is our ability to comprehend harmonic information (the difference between tones) which is primarily a brain function. It also helps that with the exception of some percussion instruments, I don't think any instruments produce fundamental tones above 8kHz.
